Melissa and Paul, Eve and Eric, and Grace and Martin, who come from varying social classes, are brought together through their young children’s play/education group. When a tragedy occurs, their lives implode.

Over the course of a long, hot summer in London, the lives of three very different married couples collide when their children join the same tutoring circle, resulting in illicit relationships, shocking violence, and unimaginable fallout.
